Gameday: Gameday Recap - Box Score
ST. PAUL-- If there was any question whether Concordia would carry momentum into the conference tournament, the Cobbers quickly posted a thundering answer as they pounded Hamline for 93 points en route to a 93-62 victory. The win pushes Concordia's winning streak to 15 games, which is the longest since the national championship team of 1987-88 also won 15 straight. It is the fifth longest streak in program history.

The Cobbers finish the regular season with a 17-3 record in the MIAC, which gives them the second seed for the conference tournament, which begins next week. Concordia's second-place finish was cemented after league-champion Carleton beat Bethel 79-63. The runner-up finish is the highest for the Cobbers since the 1993-94 campaign where they also finished second and advanced to the NCAA tournament. Concordia is now 19-4 overall and is one victory away from their second straight 20-win season.(More) 
 

February 16 Cobbers Clinch First-Round Bye and Home Semifinal Game in 76-66 Win Over St. Thomas. Gameday: Gameday Recap - Box Score - Action Pictures - Gameday Program (word) MOORHEAD-- Concordia took care of business in the opening 20 minutes of play, jumping to a 17-point lead, and then held on to beat St. Thomas 76-66.  With the win, the Cobbers clinch a bye in the first round of the MIAC playoffs and a home game in the semifinals. The victory also pushes Concordia's win streak to 14 games. That is the sixth longest winning streak in school history and longest since the 1988-89 season when they won 16 consecutive games. Concordia also keeps an outside chance of an MIAC title alive. With one game remaining in the regular season, the Cobbers trail Carleton by one game. The Knights, winners at home against St. Mary's on Wednesday, would have to lose their final game of the year at Bethel coupled with a Concordia win at Hamline, in order for the Cobbers to share the MIAC crown and claim the #1 seed in the playoffs.(More)

She shot 61.5% (8-of-13) from the floor and 100% (3-of-3) from 3-point range against one of the league's top defenses. She was the key factor in Concordia's 83-75 upset win over the Blazers. 

On Wednesday against Gustavus, Pearson scored 17 points and dished off another eight assists. Over the weekend, she scored 20 points in Concordia's 73-62 win over St. Olaf on Saturday, and then collected her first double-double of the year in the Cobbers' 65-63 win over St. Mary's on Sunday. Against the Cardinals, she scored 10 points but had a season-best 13 assists. 

Pearson shares the award with Carleton junior Megan Vig. Vig averaged 23.5 points and shot a stunning 69.2 percent from the floor in helping Carleton post two wins this week and move three games ahead of the pack in the MIAC race.
